Lumber Volume Conversion Formulas
Board Feet to Cubic Meters
Formula: m³ = bf × 0.00235974
Example: 1000 bf = 1000 × 0.00235974 = 2.36 m³
Cord to Cubic Meters
Formula: m³ = cord × 3.62456
Example: 2 cord = 2 × 3.62456 = 7.25 m³
Cubic Feet to Board Feet
Formula: bf = ft³ × 12
Example: 10 ft³ = 10 × 12 = 120 bf
MBF to Cubic Meters
Formula: m³ = MBF × 2.35974
Example: 5 MBF = 5 × 2.35974 = 11.80 m³
